Wargroove has its differences from Advance Wars, the Nintendo series that inspired it, but that isn’t stopping some players from immediately turning Wargroove into Advance Wars. Thanks to its built-in mapmaking and campaign-building tools, Wargroove already has a bunch of player-created maps to play, including recreations of Advance Wars missions. Here are the coolest Wargroove mods and maps we’ve found so far.

How to download Wargroove custom maps

Wargroove doesn’t use the Steam Workshop for sharing maps and mods, because it actually has its own built-in map sharing tools that work across the PC and consoles. To browse and download maps, choose Custom Content from the main menu, then Share. From the Share menu you can browse for maps, see what’s currently popular, or click Enter Code to download a particular map. Copy/paste the codes from the maps listed below to download them.

The best Wargroove custom maps and campaigns

Indiana Bones and the Angel Statue – 9TBXTXRY

A cute little “adventure” with light puzzle solving as you venture into a ~spooky~ tomb. Nice use of scripting in a simple map.

Triple Trouble – WUJTWQ48

A super cool map concept. It’s a 1v1 map but split across three separate lanes, with barracks and strongholds and buildings to capture in each one. Take a single enemy stronghold to win by figuring out how to most efficiently divide your forces.

Yorthendon Citadel – YEGW2QKD

A big symmetrical map for four player versus, with a guarded treasury of valuable buildings locked in the center. Whoever controls that portion of the map will likely have the resources to win.

Capture the Flag – FCC6ZECY

The game’s in the name. You lose if the enemy takes over your stronghold or kills your commander, but the real goal here is to grab the flag from your enemy’s base and bring it home. The unit who grabs it turns into a defenseless villager, so you’ll need to protect them.

2v2v2v2 (pintade) – DQ6DJEWN

A huge map designed for co-op play. You and a partner start in one corner of the map and gradually spread out, while three AI teams move around in the fog of war. If you’re hunting for a co-op map you can play for weeks, this is it.

Japan A.I. Large – LCB6RCTG

That’s Japan! Neat. It’s a large one, so expect some long multiplayer campaigns.

The Defense of Strahnbrad – W6WVJHL2

A Warcraft-themed map that feels like a proper campaign mission, with fog of war and a city to protect.

Advance Wars Alpha – 6FK77AS6

The first four maps from the Advance Wars campaign, remade in Wargroove. The entire campaign is in development, and will eventually contain all the maps from the original game.

There are only a few Wargroove mods (so far)

Most of Wargroove’s community efforts are focused around its built-in editing tools, so there’s not much of a mod scene yet. But there are a couple to check out:

Modpacker – A tool for installing and creating mods that will likely become the go-to for modders.

Advance Wars 1 in Wargroove – Don’t get too excited—this mod doesn’t reskin the game with Advance Wars sprites. But it does rebalance it and globalize the leader powers, bringing combat more in line with Advance Wars’ gameplay. You’ll need the Modpacker to install.
